Yankees' Obvious Next Move: $80 Million Slugger Cody Bellinger?
Posted: Fri Dec 13, 2024 7:00 pm
Is Cody Bellinger REALLY the obvious answer for the Yankees? Rosenthal seems to think so, pointing to the Yankees’ desperate need for a left-handed bat. But is Bellinger, with his inconsistent past performance, truly the impact player they need? His 2019 MVP season feels like a distant memory. Is he a reliable solution or just another gamble? And if they do snag Bellinger, where does he even fit in their lineup? Does he push Dominguez out of center? What happens to their pursuit of Christian Walker?
Bringing up Bregman is an interesting wrinkle. Is his swing truly better suited for smaller parks? If the Yankees are looking for a long-term solution at third, wouldn’t he be a better fit than Bellinger, even with the potential ballpark disadvantages? It seems like the Yankees have a lot of questions to answer before making their next move. What do you think their best strategy is going forward? Is there a better option out there that they’re overlooking?
